in indiana is very positive. our problem is washington, d.c. and i was able to report to him that in a bipartisan manner today, congress was going to take a small but significant step in lifting a regulatory burden on capital formation and that hoosier, like i hope all americans looking in today, was encouraged. the jobs act will actually facilitate capital formation, business expansion and growth by lifting the burden from job creators in a number of ways. it exempts certain companies from s.e.c. regulations, it exempts securities issued through innovative crowd funding sources from s.e.c. regulation. all of which in plain english means that we are going to change the regulatory environment to help startups and small businesses access public markets. i've always believed throughout more than a decade working on this floor that politics is the art of the possible. and today, we will not do everything those of us on this side of the aisle believe we should do. -- should do to jump start this economy. but we will d

for what purpose does the gentleman from indiana rise? >> ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: so ordered. mr. pence: mr. speaker, there is a lot of issues being debated here in our nation's capital, but hoosiers are talking about just one thing and that is rising prices at the pump. the average price of gasoline in indiana right now is $3.82 a gallon. that's 10 cents higher than the national average. and it's worth noting when president obama came to office the average price of gasoline nationwide was $1.79. this administration pushed cap and trade, national energy tax that the president said would cause utility rates to skyrocket. they pushed it through regulations even though it didn't make it in the congress. they suspended deep water drilling in the gulf of mexico for a time. they placed the entire pacific and atlantic coasts off-limits to drilling. refused to explore alaska. decreased production across the western part of our nation, and most recently rejected the keystone x.l. pipeline

mike pence of indiana who was our conference chair last term, of course my friend allen west of florida, all working to establish a simple tax rate structure for our country. other members are working on this in the senate as well. and let's be honest. this is a time where congress is not held in high regard and this would be a tremendous deliverable for the house and the senate to work together on simplifying the tax code and actually returning not just dollars to the american people, but giving them back their time. that we rob from them every year when we enforce compliance in the tax code. not everyone may agree on precisely what the flat tax rate should be. 17% no deductions is something that's been talked about for a long time and i think that's certainly a system that is worthy of study. but if someone else wants to talk about a system with two rates or three rates, if they want to maintain deductions, we should be able to have that debate. we should have it civily. it shouldn't be something that we clobber each other over the head about. but every american should bear this burde
